GlobeTel Signs Letter of Intent with NASA
GlobeTel Communications Corp. has announced that the company has signed a Letter of Intent (LOI) with the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA). The agreement with NASA's Dryden Flight Research Center at Edwards Air Force Base in California positions the company for future governmental partnerships and business development ventures. The LOI will create a framework for creation of a Space Act agreement between GTEL, the developer and provider of the Stratellite, a High Altitude Platform (HAP) Airship, and NASA Dryden Research Center. The parties also envision that the agreement will employ provisions for joint advocacy and proposal development efforts in the pursuit of future new business opportunities of mutual benefit. The agreement will provide NASA and other agencies the access to the Stratellite for the installation, integration, and deployment of NASA sponsored sensors and other projects. Under the proposed agreement, other government agencies may, in cooperation with NASA Dryden, utilize the Stratellite for their projects and requirements. Timothy Huff, CEO of GTEL, stated, "It is a great honor to be working with an organization such as NASA. The Space Act agreement will give GTEL access to additional capable personnel and technology, accelerating the growth of both GTEL and our wholly-owned subsidiary, Sanswire Networks LLC, and take advantage of the opportunity that lies ahead of us." A Stratellite is similar to a satellite, but is stationed in the stratosphere rather than in orbit. At an altitude of 10 to 13 miles above the Earth, each Stratellite will have clear line-of-sight communications capability to an entire major metropolitan area as well as being able to provide coverage across major rural areas. Several Stratellites linked together could cover many hundreds of thousands of square miles. The Stratellite will allow subscribers to easily communicate in "both directions" using readily available wireless devices. In addition to voice and data, proposed telecommunications uses include cellular, 3G/4G mobile, MMDS, paging, fixed wireless telephony, HDTV, real-time surveillance and others.
